What π means
The tone is usually neutral or playful. People send it when they find a mouse at home, to call someone shy or "quiet as a mouse", or in jokes about cat-and-mouse games. Because the artwork looks like a white lab mouse, it is also used for science, testing and "lab rat" jokes. In India the mouse is known as the vahana (vehicle) of Lord Ganesha, so it sometimes appears in Ganesh Chaturthi posts. It is milder than π, which is often used to call someone a snitch or traitor.
In texting
Most often it means "there is a mouse in my house" or describes someone small, quiet or timid.
